Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Dehumidifier
does not start
The dehumidifier is unplugged. Makes sure the dehumidifier’s plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset
the breaker.
Dehumidifier has reached its
set humidity level or bucket is
full.
The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs.
Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace properly.
Bucket is not in the proper
position.
The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier
to operate.
Power Failure. There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent tripping
of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start
normal dehumidification for 3 minutes after turning back on.
Dehumidifier
does not dry
the air as it
should
Did not allow enough time to
remove the moisture.
When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired
dryness.
Airflow is restricted. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the top or
back of the dehumidifier. See the Choosing a Location section.
Dirty Filter See the Care and Cleaning section.
The Humidity Control may not
be set low enough.
For drier air, press the ź pad and set to a lower percent value (%) or
at NS (Nonstop) for maximum dehumidification.
Doors and windows may not be
closed tightly.
Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
Clothes dryer may be blowing
moisure-laden air into the room.
Install the dehumidifier away from the dyer. The dryer should be
vented to the outside.

temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. Models are
designed to be operated at temperatures above 41°F (5°C).
Dehumidifier

large.
The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate.

usually disappear within 60 minutes. Under certain conditions, frost
may appear on the coils of your dehumidifier at temperatures above
41°F (5°C). This is normal and frost will usually disappear within 60
minutes. See the Automatic Defrost section.
